When I first heard the term "selfie" I envisioned and entirely different action.

Damn, the funeral selfie thing is just sad. Probably a case of teens being so emotionally isolated from the people around them that they don't have an outlet when things actually happen in their life.

Re: Is "selfie" the new cool word to say?
its the main manoeuvre in the attention whoring vehicles of Facebook, Instagram etc.
people love themselves some them.
this shit (caring about day to day randomness and feeling the need to share it) will level off in the next few years once hipsters deem it camp.
Lord knows I can hardly wait for the day as I fight off vomit which rushes up my oesophagus on every third Facebook post I read.
Its always the same:
Look at me doing something.
Look at me here.
Look at me I have friends.
Man life's so rad!!!
Those people are always the most deranged in real life too.

We are living in the era of stupid f*cks thinking they're special. Everyone HAS to have a FB or there must be something wrong with them. If you use social media regularly, you MUST post about "fantastic" things you're doing. Everyone has to know every small detail about your daily life. "Eating @ McD's #BigMac #I'm300lbs #EarlyHeartAttackHereICome #LookAtMyDuckFacelollmaorofl"
In the funeral self-portraits posted earlier, the first one is of some dumbass kid smiling while posing in front of his grandmother's open coffin. The caption says something about him not knowing his dead grandmother is in the background. Wtf? Did he not review the pic before sharing it with the entire f*cking world?
I am mortified by the very thought that one day our world leaders will be dumb f*cks from our current generation. Expect wars to be thrown over comments made online, folks.

UD has to be wrong on that one.
I know for sure I've heard it for longer than a year.

I'm sure it's been around even longer. Probably when phones had cameras. The word swag has been around since I was a teenager
My point is that it's turned into a hip word to say now

well maybe we're not as hip in Philadelphia. I already pointed out I am a dinosaur. My point wasn't when this word originated, it's how it's a pop culture term now. I've heard it more used in this last couple of weeks than I ever have.
Seems like other posters are agreeing

I am to date with the slang and trends for the most part, but it's weird to me. I hate getting my picture taken as a focused subject so I guess that ties in as to why I don't like selfies.

Would you agree that the actual term "selfie" is become a trendy pop culture word now than it's ever been?

Man I feel like a dinosaur. So behind in today's slang. I still haven't figured out hashtag and YOLO
